Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Will Bruin scored on each side of the break
on Wednesday as the Houston Dynamo rolled to a comfortable 4-0 victory over
D.C. United at RFK Stadium.

While Houston has been unbeatable at home this season, they have struggled on
the road and D.C. United proved to be all the Dynamo needed to shake their
road woes as Bruin and Giles Barnes made sure Houston took three points.

Houston dominated play right from the outset and opened the scoring in the
16th minute as Bruin leaked through the United backline via a nice pass from
Boniek Garcia and chipped it past an out of position Bill Hamid for the early
advantage.

The visitors made it 2-0 in the 28th minute when Hamid sent a poor clearance
straight to Bruin, who slid it over to an unmarked Barnes for the easy tap-in
and two-goal advantage at the break.

After the interval D.C. United had the better of the play and their first
great chance came in the 50th minute via a corner kick, but Raphael's header
flew over the bar.

United appeared to score several minutes later when Dwayne De Rosario got to a
loose ball in the box and fired it on goal, but Dynamo defender Cory Ashe made
a sliding block to keep it out of the net.

Bruin scored his second of the night 12 minutes from time off a corner kick
when a headed pass from Brian Ching fell to his feet and he fought off some
obstruction in the box and ripped it home.

Driver capped the rout for Houston two minutes from time with his second goal
in as many games as the Dynamo closed it out for three points.
